The TAO project

July 24, 2009 : Workshop on the Mid-infrared Instrument for TAO 6.5m telescope

A workshop on the mid-infrared instrument for TAO 6.5m telescope (TAOMIR) was held on July 24, 2009. Sufficient exchanges of opinions about the specifications, the performances, and the scientific cases of the TAOMIR were conducted. We continue to develop the TAOMIR in order to be a widely used instrument for many astronomers.
